SDCC had some powerful exclusives for Power Rangers collector’s this year. Exclusives that are now making the rounds at a number of North American conventions such as Fan Expo Canada and New York Comic Con. Today, we’re taking a look at by far the most spectacular of these exclusives with the SOC Soul of Chogokin GX-72B Black Megazord!

The Black Megazord/Daizyujin is an elaborate repaint of the original SOC release, primarily in black, with a plethora of gorgeous gold trim, green accents, and silver chrome. This color scheme is directly inspired by and meant to compliment the Soul of Chogokin Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar, which is a bit of a different take on the black repaint tradition than we usually get for MMPR or Zyuranger. Each of the Zords functions identically to the first release, but they look so spectacular in these new colors. We’ve included a number of comparison shots with the first release, with some fun mix & match possibilities as well.

Attached are 120 images of this gorgeous set. You can also read up on our full review of SOC Black Megazord in the full gallery thread by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t worry if you’ve missed one of it’s various con releases either, it’s being made available through the Tamashii Web Shop in Japan next year as well.

Released just last week at San Diego Comic Con, the GX-76B Soul of Chogokin Black Megazord will no longer be exclusive to SDCC. According to the latest issue of Figure Oh, we have confirmed the release of this set in Japan.

Release date has not been announced at this time, but the GX-76B Soul of Chogokin Black Daizyujin will officially be available as a Tamashii Web Exclusive. Retail price is 32,400 yen. This release will likely feature some slightly altered packaging though we don’t know what it looks like at this time.

Surprise! No, this isn’t the recently teased SOC GX-81 release Tamashii Nations has been talking about on Twitter. This year’s con exclusive release is indeed a a Black repaint of the SOC GX-76 Megazord/Daizyujin

Taking a current from Transformers repaints of the same variety, rather than use the usual gold accents we see with Black Megazord & Daizyujin repaints, this one opts for teal accents. Nemesis Megazord am I right?

This release will be exclusively available at San Diego Comic Con 2018, at the Bluefin Brands booth.

For those unfamiliar with the franchise: Super Robot Wars is Banpresto’s crossover series which traditionally combines characters and plot lines from various Mecha animes into one stratagey RPG video game, but it seems like the franchise is making it’s leap into the live action genre, with Super Sentai making it’s first debut into the game.

Super Robot Wars X-Omega is the franchise’s mobile game avalaible for devices running IOS and Android software , and Zyuranger’sDaizyujin will be avalaible for a limited time beginning in May as a special promotion character to tie in with the release of the Soul of Chogokin.

April 29th marks the release of the long-awaited Soul of Chogokin Daizyujin, and in the lead up to this date Bandai Tamashii Nations‘ official Instagram account has revealed that the toy will receive exclusive Power Rangers packaging for its release in the US from Bluefin Tamashii Nations USA.

Whereas the Japanese Daizyujin release follows the SOC line’s fairly standard packaging format, the American release will include a more dynamic image, naturally retitling the toy as the Megazord alongside the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers logo.
